1. One aspect of driving is that you are forced
to share the road with immature drivers.

2. For example, I leave my work around 11:30
on the weekends.

3. This is normally not a problem.

4. The roads are usually clear due to the time
of night, and I just drive home as normal.

5. However, there have been times that
immature drivers such as teens or younger
college students will be out trying to get to
some party.

6. Normally this wouldn’t bother me, but on
some occasions when I’m driving home I
have difficulties that I have to face.

7. These difficulties can occur when I’m driving
at a safe speed, and some immature drivers
are behind me, and instead of just switching
to another lane they decide to drive as close
to the back of my car as they can.

8. The immature driver believes that I will
speed just, so that they can go faster in this
lane, but this is not the case.

9. With that said the young driver usually ends
up switching to the lane next to me, and
yelling some inappropriate phrase.

10. This ends up angering me, and tempts me to
do something that isn’t wise, but
fortunately, I have matured enough to not
stoop to such a level.

11. With all this said I would like to educate people on
the difficulties that immature drivers force mature
safe driving members of society to go through,
and the restrictions that society have placed on
immature drivers such as teenagers in order to
combat this epidemic.

12. Waiting to get your permit can be an exciting
time for young drivers.

13. The first thing is for you to get your
provisional permit before you do anything
else.

14. A license is labeled provisional if the person
is under the age of 18.

15. The provisional license carries more
restrictions than a normal license that a
person that is 18 and over would have.

16. Unfortunately immature drivers are allowed
to change their driving permit into a driving
license by the time they are 16 as long as
they have met the driving and classroom
requirements.

17. Also, you must have held your permit in the
same state for at least one year.

18. Younger teenage drivers must also complete
a driver’s education class also referred to as
Drivers Ed.

19. The final requirement is to have 50 hours of
completed practice time with an adult that is
twenty-five years of age or older.

20. There must also be six hours of completed
professional driver training by selecting one
of many Texas Driving Schools.

21. The adult must sign off and log all fifty hours
of time and then of those fifty hours a
portion must be done during the night.

22. A young driver with a provisional driver’s
license has a couple of restrictions.

23. The first restriction is that you are not
allowed to drive between midnight and five
in the morning.

24. The main reason behind this restriction is
because young drivers are considered more
dangerous, so it is best to not let them drive
late at night to protect other drivers.

25. Only family members are allowed to ride in
the vehicle during the first six months of
your provisional license.

26. After the first 6 months has passed you are
allowed one passenger, who is not a family
member, to ride in the vehicle you are
driving.

27. Once you have had your license for one year
you are allowed up to three passengers, who
are under the age of twenty-one and who
are not family members to ride in the vehicle
you are driving.

28. In conclusion drivers are better informed on the
hazards that immature drivers cause on the
roadway, but also the restrictions that are placed
on them in hopes to make them more mature.
